[spoiler="Wish, note the highlighted pararaph"][ATTACH=full]128100[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]128101[/ATTACH] [/spoiler]</li> </ul>10 min/level is probably both too short for many spells that would be unbalancing & too long for  oh so many spells that this kinda thing should shine with, but if making it not work for wish is the goal  just setting it to "spells in your spellbook available to a wizard 5 levels lower" & making it a flat 10 min or they lose a bunch of prepared spell slots & can cast those spells with a 5 min cast time would do.  Unfortunately concentration still cripples itedit:  also 5e doesn't have spellcasting checks & you don't define it so it's d20 vrs 10+spell level making it a pretty "no never" feature simply because it's pretty rare a wizard is going to desperately need to cast a low level spell at the lowest level a long time from now</blockquote>
